To Whomever Was In Charge of the Whole Time Change Thing:

This was a very bad idea. On behalf of all the other mothers of the world, please change it back.

McCain, this could be your last minute maneuver to boost your numbers - go on all major networks and address the mothers of the world.  Tell them that you hear their cries and you understand.  And that you will make abolishing daylight savings your first plan of attack!  We would way rather have sleep than a healthy economy.  

Honestly, I think I might vote for Mickey Mouse if he would promise to abolish the time change deal.

Seriously.

There is no possible way that a mother was a part of the whole "Daylight Savings" discussion!  No. possible. way.

I mean, what mother would want time to go backwards?  

Can you picture it - "Oh, my kids wake up between 6 and 6:30 everyday, lets go ahead and move the clock backwards.  I would love another hour with them in the morning."

No Way!

So, this is a day that I have constantly been looking at the clock thinking, "It has to be 10 AM already."  No, it is 7:45.

"It has to be 10:30 by now.  I mean, we have watched our morning TV time, had breakfast, played board games, done play-doh time, played hide and go seek, please, God, let it be 10:30!"

Nope.  9:30.

I am bitter at "Fall Back."
